Abstract
An increasing emphasis on morality and ethics in the business
environment has called for an enhanced focus on virtue-based
phenomenon in organizational research. This study explores a recently
conceptualized phenomenon of organizational virtuousness and tests its
relationship with organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) directly and
through mediating role of perceived organizational support (POS). An
empirical study was conducted on a sample of 250 employees in four
banks of Pakistan to test the relationship between these constructs
through Hierarchical Multiple Regression. Organizational virtuousness
has significant positive relationship with organizational citizenship
behavior. Further, perceived organizational support is a partial mediator
of organizational virtuousness and organizational citizenship behavior.
The findings make an important contribution to positivity literature and
suggest that organizations should adopt practices and procedures which
help in building the climate of virtuousness in organizations.
